                  **** SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION **** 
 
                               EMERGENCY OVERVIEW 
Very toxic by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. 
Danger of cumulative effects. Very toxic to aquatic organisms, may 
cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.Highly 
toxic.Light sensitive. 
 
Potential Health Effects 
     Eye: 
          Contact may cause severe eye irritation and possible eye damage. 
     Skin: 
          May cause severe skin irritation. May be absorbed through the skin. 
     Ingestion: 
          May be fatal if swallowed. Poison by ingestion. May cause kidney 
          damage. May cause severe digestive tract irritation with abdominal 
          pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause corrosion and 
          permanent tissue destruction of the esophagus and digestive tract. 
          Can cause nervous system damage. 
     Inhalation: 
          May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract with sore 
          throat, coughing, shortness of breath and delayed lung edema. May 
          cause effects similar to those described for ingestion. 
     Chronic: 
          Chronic inhalation and ingestion may cause effects similar to those 
          of acute inhalation and ingestion. Prolonged or repeated exposure 
          may cause adverse reproductive effects. May cause fetal effects. 
 
                    **** SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES **** 
 
     Eyes: 
          Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, 
          occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid 
          immediately. 
     Skin: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of 
          water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing 
          and shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. 
     Ingestion: 
          Do not induce vomiting. If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 
          cupfuls of milk or water. Never give anything by mouth to an 
          unconscious person. Get medical aid immediately. 
     Inhalation: 
          Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh 
          air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If 
          breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do NOT use mouth-to-mouth 
          resuscitation. 
     Notes to Physician: 
     Antidote: 
          The use of Dimercaprol or BAL (British Anti-Lewisite) as a chelating 
          agent should be determined by qualified medical personnel. 
 
                  **** SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES **** 
 
     General Information: 
          As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in 
          pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full 
          protective gear. Combustion generates toxic fumes. 
     Extinguishing Media: 
          For small fires, use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide or 
          chemical foam. 
 
                **** SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES **** 
 
     General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated 
                          in Section 8. 
     Spills/Leaks: 
          Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective 
          Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for 
          disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. 
 
                   **** SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE **** 
 
     Handling: 
          Wash thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and 
          wash before reuse. Use with adequate ventilation. Minimize dust 
          generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on 
          clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Do not ingest or inhale. 
          Store protected from light. 
     Storage: 
          Do not store in direct sunlight. Store in a tightly closed 
          container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from 
          incompatible substances. Poison room locked. 
 
          **** SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION **** 
 
     Engineering Controls: 
          Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped 
          with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or 
          local explosion-proof ventilation to keep airborne levels to 
          acceptable levels.
